I hate to say this, because I am a fan of Darjeeling, but to me, it just tastes lighter, not really significantly different. This is when I have tried a green from the same estate and flush as a "black" that I have on hand.

However, they are still generally good as long as they are fresh. I remember one of the first greens I had, I got from Stash direct... it had NO FLAVOR AT ALL. I think it was just old.

And Chip, as far as Stash goes, I was unimpressed when I ordered from them as well... was in my early tea-drinking days, so perhaps my palate was less developed, but the Stash tea did indeed seem bland and stale...

I tend to side with Chip, however, on subcontinent greens. A good darjeeling green tastes a lot like a first flush darjeeling and not much like a Chinese or Japanese green. Don't get me wrong, I love darjeelings, but that part of the world is at the very beginning of learning to make green tea. Why not enjoy the product of a century and a half of their making great black teas!
